That's interesting. My simple reasoning: if the share number is reduced every year, no matter how small, in finite time, the number will be reduced to a fraction. There is another way to explain it, if one sells 2% of shares a year, but the company also spits out extra 2% of share per share due to increasing value, then the total number of shares would remain the same.
